Castle Museum on the river Vecht

Slot Zuylen Castle is situated on the river Vecht in the tiny
village of Oud-Zuilen near Utrecht, The Netherlands. Whilst
retaining many of its medieval castle-like features it was
converted into a country mansion in the 18th century. Its most
famous resident was Belle van Zuylen (Isabelle
de Charrière), writer of fame and feminist avant la lettre.
Slot Zuylen opened its doors to visitors 60 years ago and has
meanwhile acquired museum status. The past is recalled to life
through guided tours, garden walks, concerts and special
events.
